cowherder, hrandishing his gun threat

Mr.. X. thought of the ancient max.
i'm, that discretion was the better part OF
valor and coming out from behind the
bar went through all the dance steps he
could think Of He flung his feet in
lively style for ten minutes before the
cowboy was satisfied
..Thal'll do. now" said the latter.
II guess yer all right Now gi' me

Mr.. Kclkenny obeyed with an alacrr

n dangerous customer. AS the cowboy
was cnjoting the whisky John looked
carelessly at the revolver and remark
ed:
''Fine revolver you've got there"

''Let me look at it mime, will

handing over the weapon with one
hand and sez'ng the glass with the
other.
He never drank the whisky, for As
soon rs Mr. X. had the weapon in his
hand he pointed it at the cowboy and
uttered the stern command. "Now you
dance" and he put the cowboy through
all the PAGES imaginable. fast and slow.
For half an hour he was compelled 10

Before half an hour had passed the
firm had taken their resolution. The
share which Tommy was given repre-
sented little more than a somewhat
liberal salary, but he was included as q

soon as that partnership deed was
drawn up and executed Tommy return
ed to Italy and had another interview
with the Count, who, imagining that
he had misconceived the young mans

One of Pat Sheedy's Stories.

81 was riding on one of the old stage
coaches running to the Black Hills,
and one Of my fellow passengers was
an Englishman. We had reached a
dell in the road when one of the lead
crs of our four-in-hand team became
restless. The driver swung his whip
out, and, as the horse felt the crack and
steadied down. the driver exclaimed:
There. blank, blank You. take that?
Immediately the voice resounded In
echo from the hill beyond: There.
blank. blank you take thatr The Eng
lishman looked up quietly and said to
me: If he had said God bless you. in
stead of the language he used, his God
bless you would as certainly have come

story was recently told. not by Sun

gamblers and now John L. Sullivan's
manager. -Neic York Sun.

spite of the reports and advice by ex-
peris there has been any Improvement
in the system which is still carried
On:-
By the British Government the
monopoly which previously existed
under the Kandyan Sovereigns was
early abolished as a source ~oiTeveEthe
and no ~licence is now required by the
jewel hunters. Great numbers OF per-
sons of the worst regulated habits are
constantly engaged in this exciting
and p~rrcarious trade, and serious de-
moraliza,ion is engehdered among the
villagers by the idle and diSsolute ad-
venturers who resort to Saffragam.
Systematic industry suffers, and the
cultivation OF the land is frequently
neglected while its owners are absorb
ell in these speculative and t%nntalizing
occupations. OF the total number Of
saleable stones which are found, e
fourth is probably purchased by the
natives themselves, more than one
half is Sent to the continent of India,
and The remainder represents the ex.
port to Europe. Computed in this
way, the quantity of precious stones
found in the island may be estimated
at 100000 per annum.
In the handbook above referred to
it is said that, though some returns
are at present attempted by Govern.
ment, it is impossible to estimate the
annu u yield. From the above facts,
it is not necessary to further indicate
the obvious deduction than by re-
marking hat the acquisition of the
ruby mines of Upper Burmah does
not appear TO offer 80 brilliant u pros
pect of wealth az has been already
cInimed Tor it in certain directions.
The success Of diamond mining in
Africa can only he referred to here III

THE RUBYMINES OF BURMAH.

has been aroused as to their extent
and probable value. Two circum-
stances, moreover, have in an especial
degree condnced TO keep the subject
before the public. Some months ago
the reported probability of a conces-
sion to work the mines being granted
to "a French company gave rise to the
idea that a valuable possession was
about 10 pass into the hands of for
eigners, while latterty interest has
been whelted by the ~telegraphic re-
ports that q British column is now on
the road to take formal possession.
Under these circumstances no apollo
gy is perhaps necessary for giving
a short account of, first, what is actu-
ally known about these mines, and
secondly, what is likely TO he their
value, judging by analogy, if worked
under British management.
There is not II work Of any reputeO on
precious stones which does not refer
to what are spoken of as the ruby
mines of Pegu, but the facts given are
generally speaking, very a~ntiquated,
and have been much modified by
uheir travels through the hands of a
succession OF cOmpilers. Tavcrnier's
account of the mines, which was de-
rived from hearsay, as giving an cpl
tome of what was known of them in
the middle Of the 18th century, and
as the source Of the principal part Of
the information to be found in most
of the subsequent writer's, may here
be quoted. He says the place where
The rubies are obtained.
"Is a mountain 10 days journey or
ihereabouts from Siren (i,e., Siriam)
towards the northeast, and it is called
Capelan (i.e., Kyatpyen). 1t is the
mine whence is obtained the greatest
quantity of rubies, spinelIes, or mo
Ihers of rubies, yellow topazes, blue
and white ~sapphires, hyacinths, anne
thysts, and other stones of different
colours. Siren is the name OF the
city where the King of Pegu resides,
and Ava is the port Of the Kingdom.
From Ava TO Siren YOU ascend the RI
yer in large fiat boats, and it is a voy-
age Of about is days. You cannot
travel by land on account of the for
ests, which abound with lions, tigers,
and elephants. 1t is one of the poor
est countries in the world nothing
comes from it but rubies, and even
they are not so abundant as is gene
rally believed, seeing hat the value
does not exceed 100000 crowns per
annum Among the multitude of these
stones you would find it dific
with n of good quality, weighing
three or four carats, because the King
does not allow any to be removed till
they have been e by him, and he
retains all the good mes which he
finds among them. This is the rem
son why, in all my journeys, I have
earned MsuficientIy large profit by
bringing rubies from Europe into
Asia; and the story Of Vincent lie
Blanc is much doubted where he says
he has seen rubies in the palace of the
King as large as eggs"
Thus far Tayernier, whose local.

but extensive working. owing to the
infuxvef water, was impossible with
the primitive methods followed by
the, miners Besides rnbies, sap
phites, topaz and oriental emeraldS
were also found, and spinelIes were
abundant. All stones above a Ger.
tain weight becnme the property Of
the King, provided they were not
stolen and smuegled away. Facili-
ties for this were, however, afforded
by the visits paid to the mines anru,
ally by merchants from China and
Tartary.
The other authority referred 10
above is a Mr.. Bredemeyer, who
about the year 1868 was in charge of
0thel mines situated in the Sagyin
hills, which are nearer to Mandalay,
being in fact only 1G miles distant.
Here Ihegems are foundin the delrituS
from limestone or marble rocks, in.
dicatiug a not unusual original matrix
for them, Judging from experience
obtained elsewhere. The ruhies from
this locality are said TO be- less valu.
able than those from The more north.
ern mines.
Visitors to Mandalay have afforded
some information as the result of their
inquiries made in the capital. The
majority Of the rubleS found are less
than a quarter of a carat in weight,
and The larger ones are generally flaw
ed. ~Sapphires, though relatively rare,
are generally OF a larger size, stones
of 8 to 13 carats without a fl W
being found, while rubiPs If that size
are seldom seen. The revenue from
the mines, which constituted "A large
monopoly, amounted 80 years ago to
from &12,500 to E15,OO0 per nnnum.
Such are the principal facts AT present
available, and no doubt TO sanguine
minds the prospect may appear tempt
ing, and il may be thought that with
proper mining appliances and under
British management, these mines may
he mode to yield II rich return. Il
may prove TO be so, but experience
in India and in Ceylon under more
favourable circumstances Of position
does not Justify that conclusion.
In these countries the building Of
megnEithic structures and the a
lion Of enormous tanks were possible
under the Oriental regime Of forced
Iabonr and summary Jurisdiction, if
The term may be used. Similarly,
mining under a system Of jealousy
guarded Royal monopolies was carried
on in the diamond tracts Of Southern
and Central India and in the gem
bearing rivers of Ceylon. Asregnrds
The former country, repeated efforts to
carry on successful mining under Bri-
fish management have completely
failed. Some of the mos' famous
mines Cf two centuries ago have been
locally almost forgotten, and their
identity has only recently been esi ab-
li>hed after much research but in
spite Of the strong grounds which exist
for believing that some of these 10
